USO penpal volunteers?

I have a friend who is very involved in the USO and has been for a long time. She is looking for people to volunteer to write letters/send care packages to soldiers overseas. I've just volunteered and I thought some of you might be interested. The only requirements she gave me were to write two letters in the first month and then respond as they write back. I'm not sure if the care packages are required, but I'm definitely sending one or more. The deal goes on until December and even though they are overseas the addresses are treated as US mail so you don't have to pay overseas postage.

If any of you are interested send me your email address and I will pass it onto my friend, her name is Wearherly.

Sorry, didn't mean any disrespect. Just where and with who I work we don't get very much attention. Then I see my "battle buddies" who are complaining because they're out of Gatorade at the DFAC and it gets under my skin a little bit.

So if it made you really frustrated and you "accidentally" shot a few extra bullets at an enemy or a cow or something, would you get in trouble? Could you use that as an excuse? Like blame the lack of Gatorade? Or can you just shoot cows and nobody cares? I thought someone told me once that each bullet had to be accounted for.

I would also be interested. After you send her your email, does she send you a pen pal? Is there maybe a link to a site that we can look at, or those are just the details. Send 2 letters the first month and you can also send care packages.

I may do this just to send a care package and a quick note. I just think it'd be awkward to penpal it with some tough soldier-guy. I wouldn't know what to talk about. How much i fart at work and hope it get blamed on someone else? The crack in my windshield? The strange girl who lives next door and sometimes sits on the trunk of her car in the driveway for hours at a time? I'd probably just send some cool stuff. Let me think about it...
